did I read this correctly? random thoughts Send a noteboard - 02/10/2009 03:00:33 PM
You think Palin was chosen because of the current poison in the political environment? How is that? Why was that moron Biden chosen? Because Obama wanted someone so stupid no one would be willing to impeach him?

As I said in my reply to Roland all of this wailing about how mean and petty politics has gotten is nothing more then the left complaining that the beast the rode into town has in part turned on them and they have very little tolerance for criticism. The media still plays along with them for the most part but there are too many parts they can't control and those parts don't always play nice.

I will believe they are sincere about changing the tone when they do more then complain about how they are being attacked. Let then step up and call foul when the other side is unfairly attacked and I may begin to accept the idea that this is more than theater. When the one of the champions of the “change the tone” campaign goes around implying her opponent are Nazis because of one sign someone carried at a rally I tend to doubt their sincerity.
